Electronista | Amazon plans on-demand video, world KindleAmazon is about to launch an on-demand video service, the company’s chief Jeff Bezos said today at the Wall Street Journal’s D Conference. Expanding on the company’s existing Unbox download feature, the retailer will launch a paid streaming service “in the next few weeks,” according to the executive. No details beyond this early news are available, though the move would directly compete with a similar option from Netflix, whose Watch Instantly feature is largely web-based and requires a regular Netflix subscription of $9 or more.”
